John Waters: The Girls Collector Plates by Evan Orensten
You'd be hard pressed to find a better medium for John Waters' own unique brand of trashy chic than the porcelain collector plate. Thanks to the NYC-based Adora Porcelain, the perfect pairing exists in the form of three plates, each adorned with one of Waters' photos of his "muses," Barbie-like dolls decked out with bouffants and thick black eye makeup.
Limited to an edition of 300, the 10¼" plates are numbered and signed by the artist. The set of three is $650, available online from the Orange County Musuem store. Check the Adora site for availability at select locations in New York (including Nest Interiors), Toronto and Paris, as well as through Adora directly.
